Prevent Github Actions bot from running by default on forks #117

Closed augusto-herrmann closed 3 years ago

augusto-herrmann commented 3 years ago

Currently, any updated forks of this repository will run Github Actions, which will trigger the update bot. This might overload the data source servers, and potentially cause reason for them to block our update bots.

We need to figure out some configuration so that by default the update bots would only run on the main repository, not forks.

@loleg, could you please update the OpendataCH/publicbodies fork? Because of the bug that was fixed here, the update bot was running on all recent forks (worse, scheduled to hit at the same time), which could potentially overwhelm data source servers and be interpreted as a DoS attack, which could get us banned.
